Gowling WLG was named "Firm of the Year" in three categories at the inaugural Global IP Awards ceremony, held last night in London.

The firm took home the top honour in the "Russia – IP Firm of the Year" category and was also named Canadian "Firm of the Year" in both the patents and trademarks categories.

Partners Monique Couture, Gordon Harris and Scott Jolliffe were on hand to accept the awards.

“We are honoured to receive this award and especially so because it is the very first occasion for it to be conferred” said David Aylen, the managing partner of Gowling WLG in Russia and the CIS. “Our Moscow office is a great place to work and I am very proud of our exceptionally talented team!”

Hosted by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) and the World Trademark Review (WTR), the awards identify the world's leading intellectual property law firms based on IAM’s and WTR’s reporting and analysis of notable IP achievements over the past year.

Both IAM and WTR have long recognized Gowling WLG's IP Group as one of the world's leading international IP practices, with considerable strength in both trademarks and patents.
